When individuals are preparing funeral lyrics for an upcoming ceremony, they should flip through some old books until they can find something they are relatively happy with. Many musical acts over the ages have produced wonderful bits of poetry, and people would do well to research these bands.

Whenever individuals need a lyric or two that is bound to move them, they should look to the Beatles. As the best band to ever grace the planet, the Beatles wrote hundreds of songs during the 1960s. Many of their songs are quite emotional and could be used in somber situations without a problem. Any of the band's selections can be added to the memorial service.

Hymns are always good choices. In fact, most of the greatest hymns are several centuries old and are steeped in religious language. Men and women can look through old hymnbooks to find something that will work for the present age. Most hymns have slow cadences that make them easy to sing.

Classical music should not be ignored either. Many classical symphonies, in fact, were originally written as requiems. Bach and Mozart wrote several such works, and these still retain their beauty today. They can be brought out and used during modern funerals without too much trouble.

Poems can also be quite nicely used. Many of the world's most famous poets are often invoked during somber ceremonies. Robert Frost, for example, wrote a serious of lovely poems that are dedicated to the beauty of nature. If the deceased had an affinity for nature, than a Frost poem would be appropriate for the occasion.

In the end, funeral lyrics should be carefully researched before they are officially added to the ceremony. As long as people have done their homework and selected something very beautiful, all be well. The guests will be pleased with the choice.
